I can't recall but don't they have a comments field on the order form?
Where you can put "ship by ..... only" or am I thinking of another place.

Sorry I haven't been paying attention to the FAQ thread lately, things have been busy. I'm currently working on re-doing the entire FAQ so that it's easier to find the information you need. I might not get it done for this fall, but I should definitely have a new and improved FAQ for the June 07 sale.
As a side note - I know a rep from DDD posts here on occasion. Pilot, can you or any of the other admins contact him (or her) and see if I can set up a communication with them? It'd be great to turn this into the "official" FAQ by having access to a DDD employee that can give us the official word on questions.

I recently got a couple of orders from DDD shipped to me via UPS...if it happens too much I'm going to have to stop buying from DDD until they fix this...the last time i called DDD and apparently wether an order is shipped via UPS or not is decided in shipping and they apparently had no control over it...i'm even willing to pay a little more for shipping to guarantee that they will only ship via USPS...
For those of you who are in Canada and have refused UPS orders...was the full amount minus the 5.95 Shipping returned to you or did they charge you more because of customs etc etc (can you provide an example)? I havent returned UPS orders because i'm scared that i will get charged a lot more than the 5.95 shipping for not accepting an order via UPS...

The higher shipping cost may be because of the weight....or the unthinkable...UPS.
I'll keep you Canadians posted.

If you got charged more than the standard $5.95 I would call them and have them rectify it for you. But if this turns out to be an actual permanent change, I will reconsider shopping from DDD.COM

I filled my cart up as to what i plan to buy during the sale ($700ish) and the shipping says $39.95. So it does look like they changed the shipping costs to Canada (without changing what the website says) and now we go by the international rates.

Not really sure if this is the proper thread to use, but since I'm trying to add a few things to my wishlist in preparation for the sale, does anyone know if DDD carries either of the Directors Label boxsets? I can only find the Chris Cunningham set on its own...

i cant find them either and thats weird. i grabbed the volume 1 set a short while back, and was saving the volume 2 for another time.
maybe they are taking some items down temporarily? like when the herzog/kinski box during the b1g1 sale? i just hope they have it back up for the 20%er

I guess this is the place to ask but I wanted to add the Bruce Campbell movie - Going Back to my wish list so I can pick it up during the sale. I cant find it though, anyone come accross it?
So with that B1G1F sale ending on a Thurs, does it look like were getting this early around the 10th?

DDD has a at least one (and I think there are a few others) sale ending on 11/09.
It would fit in with previous schedules for any biggie sale to start on Friday 11/10, and end on Sunday 11/19. (The last two November sales ended on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, IIRC)
